Daily Routine
We have a set routine which covers approximate times for activities such as group time, outdoor play, meals, nappy changes, sleep and so on. Routines will vary from time to time according to the needs of the group and individual children and also depending on the weather outside.
Programme
A programme has been developed taking into consideration the individual developmental needs of each child.
Developmental checklists will be done every 6 months and giving to parents so they can see how their child is developing.
Little Cuddles offers a pre-school style programme for the 4-5 year old children. This programme reflects current research in the area of Transition to School.
A Ready for School checklist will be done for the children who will be attaining school. This will be given to parents to pass on to their child’s school at their enrolment interview.
Communication
Each child is allocated a communication book in which a brief summary of your child’s day is documented. Account statements, newsletters and other information and messages will be place inside the book at the end of each day. Parents are also encouraged to relay any messages in these books. Parent interviews are also organised in the middle and end of each year
Please feel free to contact me regarding your child care needs.
